OUR FAMILY HOLIDAY HOUSE.....

So excited for the next 8 days.  It has been many many years since our whole family has been away on a holiday together.  We have hired an amazing AirBnB house at Noosa where there is plenty of room for everyone...  Pure core luxury...

Steve and I took the children with us, and along with Pete, Maria and Theo, we arrived just after lunch on the Friday.  Sarah and Colin were coming down later that evening once Colin finished work, and Dan and Chloe were joining us the following day.

We were the first to arrive, and the kids were so excited when we pulled into the drive way and they spotted this huge blow up Unicorn in the pool.   All they wanted to do was get changed into their togs and go for a swim,  even though the weather was a little on the cool side....

The first thing they spied as we pulled into the drive way...

 The house was gorgeous, way above our expectations.....
There were five bedrooms, three bathrooms, 4 living areas, 2 being outdoors.  The main dining room table seated us all comfortably.  Massive kitchen, and there were 3 TVs in the house, so everyone had a chance to find a space to chill out and relax....

The kids checking out the pool... so keen to get in,  poor bunnies they are going to have to wait until tomorrow....

Great pool with a floating unicorn....

 There was a big box of pool toys for the children to use when playing in the pool, including floating toys, balls, and pool noodles.  They were in their element...

The living and dining are was enormous...

Views out to the ocean

There was a large telescope mounted in the corner of the dining area which looked out over lovely views of the ocean and coastline...

 There was an amazing deck off the kitchen which had a built in outdoor kitchen, BBQ and fridge ( we used this a lot...

Amazing views from the top deck..

 Five bedrooms, allowed us all to have our own space.  The bedrooms were all quite large, with one have a study desk in it.  Sarah and Colin took this room, as Sarah still had some Uni work she needed to do whilst we were away...

Sarah and Colin's room

 Willow and Max were very excited to have their own room which they could share together... They like being in the same room....

They both picked their beds...

 Pete and Maria had the last down stairs bedroom.  As most of the living areas were upstairs, we figured it was better to put the families downstairs, where they would be able to settle the children at bedtime, without it impacting too much on the noise happening upstairs...

Pete, Maria's and Theo's bedroom

They had a rather large couch in their room

 Downstairs also had it's own bathroom...

 The laundry was also situated downstairs.  There was a large entry area which lead to the stairs to the upstairs level of the house..

 and there was a great lounge area with TV downstairs also, that the parents downstairs could use.

 There was a large living area upstairs also with it's own TV and lounge chairs.

 Upstairs also had a study area which Chloe used, as she also had Uni Assignments due...

 We couldn't have asked for a better home for our week away all together.  And we really did have the best time altogether.  It was decided that next time Pete and Maria come home, we need to have at least two weeks away together...
